Riad Scalia is charming and comfortable home away from home located on the edge of the Fez Medina. Our room and the common areas were clean and beautifully decorated. In addition, the shower was water was hot and the WIFI worked well. Our hosts, Mohammed and Nezah, were two of the nicest people I have ever met in a place where I stayed as a guest. Nezha went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful, and she is warm and genuine individual. After a long day of walking all over the Medina, she invited to the rooftop terrace for a cup of fresh tea. And what an amazing view! The home-made breakfast every morning was delicious, and Nezah showed us how she cooked the chicken and vegetable couscous that we had for dinner. Staying at Riad Scalia made our short time in Fes very enjoyable, and we were genuinely glad that we had selected to stay there.

Very Good 8.0

Beautiful view and very friendly

Riad Scalia is a beautiful Riad on the border of the Medina. It's about a 5 minute walk from where you have to park the car at Bab Guissa. Staff were very friendly and played with our daughter.
We ate at the hotel on the first night and it was expensive, but very tasty.

A jewel tucked away in the corner of the medina

Riad Scalia is charming and comfortable without being pretentious. The rooms and the common areas are clean and attractive, the water is hot, the wifi is solid. While located away from the main tourist hotspots of the medina, the riad is still close enough to some very interesting quarters and Bab Boujloud is a short and cheap taxi ride away (or a fascinating 30 minute walk). Easy long-term parking is reasonably handy with porters ready and waiting to ferry your luggage for a tip.
But the real highlight of Riad Scalia is the manager, Nezha. She goes out of her way to make your stay wonderful and her concern for guests is warm and genuine. No matter what time of the day or night you come back to the riad, Nezha seems to be waiting and ready for a friendly chat about what you've been up to, before offering tea on the rooftop terrace.
Nezha's cooking was a daily treat. She serves her house-made breakfast every morning with pride and will cook dinner on request for a reasonable price (we enjoyed a delicious chicken and vegetable cous cous).
Overall, staying at Riad Scalia made our time in Fes more enjoyable and we were genuinely sad to say goodbye.
